ninjam: revuelta

Here’s another ninjam, this one is a totally different mood. We are playing without drums, and mostly it’s fretless stringed instruments other than my piano (as far as I can tell). This is my mix from the client-side saved files. And I really did almost nothing to it, other than mute out one chunk of one part where some conversation intruded into the music briefly. Other than that, this very accurately reflects the live improvised music we made this day.

ninjam: okome

Here’s a hot clip from a ninjam I recently played in. It’s very interesting because I have never played with this guy before, but it sure does not sound that way. I’m very intrigued that this can work this well when I likely would not be able to hold a conversation with this person (due to language differences).

one month of EWI

At the polite urging from deathshadow from ewiusb.com, here’s my wrap-up of one month of time spent with my EWI. I’ve probably put a decent 80 hours of time on it (I wish it had an hour meter).

Akai EWI USB

I spent my first day yesterday with the Akai EWI USB, the newest model they make. I thought I’d record my thoughts and findings because I suppose anyone looking to purchase one will benefit from hearing what another player thinks about it.
